When factoring in the cost of a new bow.....and deciding which one to purchase....do you factor in the RESALE VALUE of the bows in question?

Let's say (for the sake of this hypothetical) that you pay $500 for a Bear Element......and the Allegiance would cost you an additional $200.

Wouldn't you recoup your initial extra investment when you went to sell the Ally? In the end.....what did they both "cost" you??

Remember, too....that you had the use of these bows for the time in question, too. Which one would you rather be hunting with?
